This dress is best for costume or design, let me say right off the bat- it has some flaws.

It's a great style, typical of the time period of the 1930s-It has a high gathered bust, and an open almost to the waist back that hooks at the neck only.

It has a self belt that would hook in back, but is missing the buckle. We have a few for sale!

The best style accent is the attached capelet  that is trimmed with genuine ermine fur.

Structurally, it's excellent, but there are marks and some small light stains on the velvet  I don't think they will come out which is why I didn't try. But it makes a great costume, and could be revived with some tricks.
